Atianta's Prohibition Law.

Our esteemed contemporary, the At
lanta Constitution, is alarmed because
the MORNING NEWS has had a word or
two TO Say about prohibition in Atlanta.
II don't want the prob bitioD question
agltated there, and it displays a nervous
ness about the matter that would be
amusing if IL did not excite pity.
The MORNING NEWS does not want to
make trouble for the Constitution. 1t
knows very well that the Constitution had
no hand in the tremendous struggle in At
lanta which resulted in the adoption Of
prohibition. lt deserves no thanks from
either the PrOhibitiOnists or the auti-Pro-
hibitionists, because it pretended to give
aid to neither side. Ills quite refreshing,
therefore, to see it brlstle up and pre-
tend that it is the especial
champion of Atlanta in this
prohibition business. II would
be very interesting to know, however,
whose interest it championships prohi-
bitionists or the anti ProhibitiOnists. If
1t has any opinion respecting prohibition
in Atlanta, it would be a good time to
state 1t. Even at this late day state
It's readers.
But our esteemed contemporary need
not 5e unneces sarily anxious over what
little the MORNING NEWS has said about
prohibition in Atlanta. 1t doesn't want
to start another prohibition agitation there
as the Constitution seems to fear. WHAT
1t has said is in the line of enforcing tie
law. Does our esteemed contemporary
object to the MORNING NEWS suggesting
that it would be good thing to enforce
the prohibition law in that city? If the
law is not to be enforced it ought to he
repealed. But does our esteemed con-
temporary object to enforcing the law, or
to having 1t said that 1t ought to be en-
forced? Tle enforcement of the law Is a
very different thing from prohibition
agitation.
There is suspicion that our esteemed
contemporary doesn't want the law en-
forced, and is winking at its violations.
1t is to be hoped that this suspicion IS
not well founded, but its extreme sensi-
tiyeness to any allusiOn to the violations
of the law is remarkable to say the least
of it.
1t is a mistake to suppose that Savan-
nah is not interested in the enforcement
OF the prohibition law in Atlanta. Pro
hibitiOn is 90 trial there, and the outcome
of the trial will have tremendous in
fuence all over the State. Those who are
trying to bring the law into contempt,
therefore, are assuming great RESPONSE.
bility. All who have the welfare of At
lanta and of the State at heart should as
sst In holding up the hands of those who
are trying to enforce the law.

Cabinet Changes.

1t is now very positively stated that
Secretary Manning will leave the Cabinet
very soon, and it is probable that the
President will be offered a great deal
of unsought advice about the selection
of his successor. Although the impress
sion is that Assistant Secretary Fair
child will be promoted to tue Secretary
ship there is nothing known about the
matter beyond mere gossip. 1t is ad-
mitted that Mr.. Fairchild, while acting
Secretary, showed that he possesses the
capacity to manage the Treasury De-
partment; and his views on all
questions relating to financial and tariff
questions are in harmony with those OF
the President. Itis not improbable, how.
ever, that the President may seize upon
this opportunity to make changes
in other Cabinet offices. 1t has
been supposed that Secretary Bayard
wanted to be Secretary of the Treasury
when be was offered the State Depart
ment, and there are reasons tor thinking
that Secretary Lamar would find the
State Department more to his taste than
the Interior Department. 1t is within
the bounds of probability, therefore, that
Mr.. Bayard may be offered tue Treasury
portfolio, and that MIR. Lamar may sue
coed him as Secretary of State.
1t is no secret that Mr.. Bayard has not
given entire satisfaction Ia his present
position. His taste does not seem to be
in the direction of diplomacy. and his
friends thiaK that he has talents that fit
bim for dealing with financial matters.
Mr.. Lamar gives satisiact ton as Secretary
OF the Interior, but it is probable that he
would not object 10 taking the State De-
partment. the suggested change might
be agreeable TO him as well as to Mr..
Bayard.
The talk about getting rid OF Mr.. Gar
land Is hardly worth considering. The
olly fault found with him is his connec.
ton with the Pan Electric Telephone
Company. No one questions his ability
or his management of the Department OF
Justice. If it were not for the unfor-
trnate Pan Electric affair he would be
one Of the most popular members of the
Cabinet.
The Cabinet officers who have the
strongest hold upon the public are Secre.
taries Manning, Lamar and Whitney. The
others have been mora or less uulayor-
ably criticised. When MIR. Manning was
appointed there were doubts expressed
aDout his ahility TO manage the Treasury
Department successfully. These doubts,
however, were quickly dispelled. lie has
not only proved himself TO be capable OF
dnecting the financial affairs OF the gov
eminent, bat he also has the reputation
OF beng the aoiest adviser OF the admin
isirstion. The selection OF mis- successor
Will be awaited with great interest.
